For Students

The library is yours to explore. Our spaces, services and collections are designed for all learners.

Come on Over

Your UD ID is your library card. Use it to borrow items and enter Roesch Library in the evening. Food and drink are allowed in study areas. Get comfortable and stay awhile.

Find Your Space

Find an open table or reserve a room with a door. Each floor has a designated noise level. The higher you go up, the quieter it gets. The sixth floor is reserved for silent study.

We're Here For You

Getting started on a research project or locating reliable sources of information can be daunting, but you don’t have to go it alone.

Reach out for support from a friendly library expert who wants you to succeed — wherever you are — via phone, email, chat or walk-in or scheduled consultations (Book a Librarian or select “Schedule” on the "Courses" tab on the Student Success Network). The library provides a welcoming space to ask questions and find information. Read more about our commitment to student success.
